On 6-7 September in Latvia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis will attend an informal meeting of the Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) Foreign Ministers. This year, Latvia coordinates the NB8 cooperation.
The ministerial meeting in Riga and Cēsis will focus on strengthening regional security and resilience, supporting Ukraine, closer NB8 cooperation and other important regional issues.
The Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) is an informal (non-institutionalized) regional cooperation format that includes Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden. Each year, the NB8 countries coordinate the activities of the NB8 on a rotating basis. The coordinating country organizes and hosts meetings that take place during that year. In 2022, the NB8 cooperation was coordinated by Lithuania.
